Solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%283%2Bx%29%2B10+=+-11%28x-6%29%2B1\"$ Apply the distributive property to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2812%2B4x%29%2B10+=+%28-11x%2B66%29%2B1\"$ Did you remember to change the sign on the right side?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"22%2B4x+=+-11x%2B67\"$ Add 11x to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"22%2B15x+=+67\"$ Subtract 22 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"15x+=+45\"$ Divide both sides by 15.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x+=+3%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
